Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has pardoned 14 inmates from serving various jail terms at the custodian centres in the state.
The release of the inmates was announced in a statement signed by Barr. Labaran Magaji, Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General (AG), made available to the Nigerian Tribune on Monday in Lafia.
The Commissioner, in the statement, said that the action of the governor was an exercise of the powers conferred on him under Sections 212 (1) and (2) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
The AG further explained that Gov. Sule had carried out the function based on the enabling powers conferred on him and in due consultation with the State Advisory Council on the prerogative of mercy, chaired by himself.
Magaji also said that the governor had released the inmates in commemoration of the January 1, 2024, celebration.
He therefore listed the released inmates to include Sani Musa, Mohammed Maji, Danjuma Anthony, Ali Mohammed, Yahuza Turaki, Ibrahim Musa, and Abdullahi Usman.
Others are: Thank God Bananas, Usman Idris, Adamu Sule, Terzungwe Mshi, Shehu Abubakar, Zacheous Ayuba, and Surajo Abdullahi.
The Attorney-General therefore called on the inmates to be law-abiding and desist from committing any crime that would bring them back to the correctional facility.
